PsychoDriver 0 Report post Posted June 16, 2003 That sounds great. Finally, it has some features aimed at Indy Wrestling fans.: The New Contract system The Workers Touring Japan Feature Choose where in North America your FED is based. Bidding Wars Promotion Clashes New Matches and Outcomes Glad to see The Dames added too.. I like his style. This game will rule Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Lightning Flik Report post Posted June 16, 2003 If this is to be EWR's last one for quite a while (oh, Adam will make another a couple years later). I think it's safe to say that this will probably be able to satisfy EVERYONE'S appetites for quite a long time. Forgot to mention that if the Dames reports include all that he's saying (check the Dames Diatribe of Bad Blood feedback thread to find out what I'm speaking of), Dames, you WILL create a huge ass smark fan base.

Garth 0 Report post Posted June 16, 2003 I can't wait for this game to come out, it'll be so sweet. Especialy the multipale contracts system, its so annoying hlf of the ROH guys are in NWA TNA in the game, it pisses me off when you play as ROH. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest MARTYEWR Report post Posted June 17, 2003 HEY! If CRZ hadn't been replaced yet, then I shouldn't! Dames But CRZ is pretty much the only credible writer that his own site has. Well, except for Matt Hocking, but he's jumped ship to OnlineOnslaught ever since Zed stopped writing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DrVenkman PhD 0 Report post Posted June 17, 2003 It would be awesome if when you did a match as a continued feud, Dames had a "Match Backround". It would probably only say shit like "On <date>, Booker T assaulted Chris Jericho backstage. On <date>, Chris Jericho pinned Booker T with interferance by Christian" and stuff like that, but it would still be neat. Maybe. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest hardyz1 Report post Posted June 18, 2003 (edited) Has anybody gone to the EW Battleground lately? It looks awfully familiar... The Battleground EDIT: Never mind. They changed it again.

Guest TheGame2705 Report post Posted June 18, 2003 Updated contract system, allowing people to work for multiple promotions This will be cool as I can bring in all the indy talent and squash/use them Optional pictures for wrestlers, staff, and promotions Welcome option Brand new Japanese section, where wrestlers can tour with one of 11 Japanese promotions You can't actually use the promotions. Still think it's cool. Hope you can edit the promotions in the game. Promotion battle feature, which allows promotions to clash Yay global war with WWE Revamped match ratings, taking into account wrestler's secondary and tertiary statistics, similar styles, style clashes, etc No offense but this should have been in there since the beginning and Adam said it was until he got caught out there Advance bidding, which allows you to steal other workers under written contract Eh no biggie really, it'll be cool to loot WWE Brand new interaction - wrestlers suggest feuds, complain about other workers, and hold down opponents Don't wrestlers already do this? Additional matches, including 5vs5 Survivor Series and War Games (4vs4 and 5vs5) Whooo Additional match finishes, match aftermaths, and match purposes I'd really like "Face wins by reversing cheating" Updated Events section - hold PPV's on the day of your choice, and also accurate simulation of TNA's weekly PPV model Hmmm the day of your choice is very cool and I would use the weekly model atleast for a month to do special shows. Three seperate ticket prices - PPV, large event, and house show I jack up ticket prices usually $10 above the suggestion. Yes. GREED. Brand new training camp, which graduates random workers to your roster each year Eh I don't use them Brand new incidents Yay www.TheSmartMarks.com's The Dames is now in as the fourth match reporter, with text written by the man himself Yay someone new who doesn't suck Updated match reports, with a unique format for each person Same as always Updated stats, allowing you to choose the nationality of each wrestler More detail Updated promotions, allowing you to choose where in North America they are based Eh that's cool, more detail Increased title histories from 5 previous holders to 10 Multiple stables per wrestler I don't keep track of histories Change your promotion's name during the game VERY Useful for my games Choose your own promotion-specific Internet banner for "The Battleground" site Can do it already Shortlist search - one button press brings up your shortlisted workers on the Other Workers screen, saving a lot of searching time I don't use the shortlist but probably will when 4.0 comes out View merchandise sales, percentage per wrestler, to see who is selling the most Finally bringing back a good idea from PW 1 Customizable interface, allowing the user to easily choose the background, button colours, etc Same old greatness of EWR 3.0. I HOPE that for the buttons, the image can resize properly Ultra-robust new file handling, meaning converting data from 3.0 to 4.0 is fool proof Yes so I can convert my saved games the evil way All errors reported from 3.0 have been fixed EWR will always be plagued with little errors.

Guest wwF1587 Report post Posted June 19, 2003 well unless i missed something (probably did) I dont see more matches for ppvs like up to 11 or 12 ... this kinda sucks (at least for me) as I can fill a RAW or SD! only card pretty damn well (RAW is always harder)... but when its RAW & SD!, then some serious sacrifices have to be made and that sucks.. meh oh well Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Vitamin X Report post Posted June 23, 2003 Guys...most people haven't even heard of me. Dames Actually that's not quite the case, apparently TheSmartMarks.com has grown into a bit of a presitgious net entity, if there is such a thing. And you being the MAN~! of TSMville, get the spotlight. I have friends of a couple other friends on totally unrelated boards (such as IGN) that have heard of you, and for some odd reason Anglesault as well. You get a lot of exposure on the net with the TNA Diatribes. and Rick Scaia likes ya too apparently Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LooseCannon25 0 Report post Posted June 24, 2003 Hey......just a curious question......for those of you that have played both EWR 3.0 and TNM7 which would you say is the better sim. They both have their positives and negatives Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest MARTYEWR Report post Posted June 25, 2003 I meant to do a big reply sooner, but due to a busy schedule involving work, and French training, I've reduced myself to Dames jokes. Until now... Anyways, first Flik... - Optional pictures for wrestlers, staff, and promotions Heard this was huge for a download, so it'll be difficult to gauge how this plays out. Although, I wouldn't mind having these just so I can more of a visual with my game. The zip files, provided by RaveX, will probably vary, but you'll be happy to know that they don't slow the game down at all. I've tested all the Raw and Smackdown WWE.com photos and they work great! - Brand new Japanese section, where wrestlers can tour with one of 11 Japanese promotions Dude, serious? I'd fucking hook up with the Japanese promotions like at LEAST once a year for a PPV. Sadly, you won't be able to do that. The purpose of the Japanese promotions is to simply add realism where American indy wrestlers decide to take off to tour and all. - Revamped match ratings, taking into account wrestler's secondary and tertiary statistics, similar styles, style clashes, etc Oh fuck YES~! Finally I'll have my match suck because of a STYLE CLASH~! SWEET~! At least it'll be explained when I throw a super match, and it bombs like it does in 3.0 The road agents will let you know from time to time after shows if there was a style clash too. - Brand new interaction - wrestlers suggest feuds, complain about other workers, and hold down opponents Wrestlers suggest feuds? Oh you know my Champions would be doing that all the time. Complaints? Falling on my deaf ears (unless deservedly warrented). And holding down opponents? Do that, you go bye bye as I job your ass out. *laughs evilly as he realizes Flik is taking the "Holding Down Workers" part WAY too lightly...* - Three seperate ticket prices - PPV, large event, and house show House show? Why would you have house show? I don't think I'm getting this. Because house shows are in the game, thus it made sense to have a separate ticket price for them. Adam's way of adding a bit of realism. - Updated stats, allowing you to choose the nationality of each wrestler We can CHOOSE the Nationality? Like during the game? Cool. Nope, not during the game. - View merchandise sales, percentage per wrestler, to see who is selling the most Whoa. Wait a minute? View merchandise sales? Percentage per wrestler? Holy shit, this game is really letting us do just about any fucking thing we can possibly do. I have nothing to add, except that it's one of my favourite features in the game. And, Game2705... Brand new Japanese section, where wrestlers can tour with one of 11 Japanese promotions You can't actually use the promotions. Still think it's cool. Hope you can edit the promotions in the game. You can't. Brand new interaction - wrestlers suggest feuds, complain about other workers, and hold down opponents Don't wrestlers already do this? Suggesting feuds? No. Complain about other workers? To an extent, when they refuse to job. Hold down oppoents? Hell no, and I'm already adding Game to list of "People who are taking the Holding Down feature WAY too lightly". Trust me, it's a bitch. Choose your own promotion-specific Internet banner for "The Battleground" site Can do it already In the File Editor, sure. But during the game? That's the new feature. BTW, that also goes for the promotion's logo, and worker and staff pics (so you can change that Typhoon pic to a Shockmaster one during the game!) And finally, HollywoodSpike: - Brand new Japanese section, where wrestlers can tour with one of 11 Japanese promotions Will this affect their stats? I believe they increase from Japan experience.

Guest Lightning Flik Report post Posted June 27, 2003 Well, now that I'm sorta back, I'll reply to what you wrote Marty. Sorry for MY delay but my computer is kinda sorta busted as it isn't working right. - Optional pictures for wrestlers, staff, and promotions Heard this was huge for a download, so it'll be difficult to gauge how this plays out.

At least it'll be explained when I throw a super match, and it bombs like it does in 3.0 The road agents will let you know from time to time after shows if there was a style clash too. Cool. So I'll have to make sure that myself doesn't cause too many style clashes. - Brand new interaction - wrestlers suggest feuds, complain about other workers, and hold down opponents Wrestlers suggest feuds?

Do that, you go bye bye as I job your ass out. *laughs evilly as he realizes Flik is taking the "Holding Down Workers" part WAY too lightly...* No. I'm making a reference to Vinny Mac and being silly. - Three seperate ticket prices - PPV, large event, and house show House show? Why would you have house show? I don't think I'm getting this. Because house shows are in the game, thus it made sense to have a separate ticket price for them. Adam's way of adding a bit of realism. Ah... Neato then. Was wondering why that was, but hey, it's all good. - Updated stats, allowing you to choose the nationality of each wrestler We can CHOOSE the Nationality? Like during the game? Cool. Nope, not during the game. Well, I prefer being able to pick the Nationality for my wrestler. Cause now I'll be not a Non-American, but Canadian when I make me. WEEEEE~! - View merchandise sales, percentage per wrestler, to see who is selling the most Whoa. Wait a minute? View merchandise sales? Percentage per wrestler? Holy shit, this game is really letting us do just about any fucking thing we can possibly do. I have nothing to add, except that it's one of my favourite features in the game. Thankfully, yours truly would be causing 85% of my merchandising sales (oh, God, feel the sarcasm). Brand new Japanese section, where wrestlers can tour with one of 11 Japanese promotions You can't actually use the promotions. Still think it's cool. Hope you can edit the promotions in the game. You can't. Considering those 11 promotions are "techinically" in the game (as you can't play with them or use them), is it possible that someone from one of those Puroresu feds decide to showcase their skills in the USA? Brand new interaction - wrestlers suggest feuds, complain about other workers, and hold down opponents Don't wrestlers already do this? Suggesting feuds? No. Complain about other workers?

Well, you'll have to add pics one at a time, either via the File Editor for all workers, or during your game for only workers in your own promotion. There's a spot in the workers section of each. Hope that's what you were looking for. - Brand new Japanese section, where wrestlers can tour with one of 11 Japanese promotions Dude, serious?

Considering those 11 promotions are "techinically" in the game (as you can't play with them or use them), is it possible that someone from one of those Puroresu feds decide to showcase their skills in the USA? The way it works is that each Japanese promotion has a set of tour dates. If you happen to have a worker who tours with Japan (you can sign them while they're on a touring contract, or they can sign a touring contract while with you), the only time you can't use them is during a tour date. Suppose it is June 26 all over again, and you wanted to debut Ultimo Dragon just like the WWE did last night. However, if he happens to be on a tour with New Japan (for example), and one of their tour dates is June 26, you're screwed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
